The Imperial Cities of Morocco

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

A cultural and architectural overview of Fez, Marrakesh, Meknes, and Rabat.

A richly documented journey around the massive rampart walls and on into the historic heart of each of Morocco's four imperial cities (Fez, Marrakesh, Meknes, Rabat).

Winding through the alleys of the medina are the rare architectural treasures hidden behind the seemingly anonymous walls: lush patios paved with brightly-coloured zilliz, intricately stuccoed walls, and beautifully carved wood...

The bustle of the souks and public squares is offset by the serenity of the buildings given over to study or prayer, while the sumptuous palaces of the kasbah, a fortified city within the city, conjure up the days when sultans were all-powerful and Morocco the centre of an empire.

Stunning colour photos of the cities, the Atlas mountains, the Atlantic coast, the architecture and intricate art, and all that is beautiful about Morocco.
